What
can I expect in my share?
What does "seasonal vegetables, herbs, and flowers" mean?Check
out ourharvest
schedule
for information on the kinds of veggies, quantities, and production
months.

When
does the season start?
Usually the first full week of June.

How long does the harvest season last?
We normally harvest for 21 weeks, beginning the first full week of June
and ending in the last part of October. This means the cost of your
share works out to approximately $35 per week depending on payment
method.

How often do I get a share?
Every week – you can choose a Wed/Thurs or Fri/Sat time slot for
picking up your share. (Note: Drop site deliveries are on Wednesday
only)

Where
do I pick up my share?
Most members come to the farm. There are drop
sites in Lynnwood and
north Seattle.

What
are the share pick-up hours?
If you choose the Wed/Thurs slot, you can come after 12:00 noon on Wed
through Thursday. If you choose the Fri/Sat slot, you can come after
12:00 noon on Friday through Saturday. If you pick up at a drop site,
you would pick up your share there on Wednesday after 5:00, or anytime
on Thursday.

I
have a small family - can I split a share with someone else?Yes.
Share partners can alternate weeks of produce pickup. If you don't have
a partner, we may be able to match you up with someone. Call us for
more information.

Where
is the produce grown?
We grow the veggies in your share right here at the Root
Connection.

How
many people does a share feed?
It really depends on how many fresh veggies your household consumes on
a weekly basis. We have some 2-3 person households that use all of a
share, but typically it fits best with a household of 4-6, or two
smaller households going together to buy a share. Many members take
advantage of the more bountiful harvests during the later part of the
season by freezing vegetables in soup stock, or otherwise preserving
them for use during the winter.

How do the free U-pick items work?
There are lots of herbs (including basil) and greens such as chard,
collards, a few different kinds of kale, and mustard greens that
members can pick. Again, many members take advantage of this by
freezing them for later use. This really increases the value of your
share, since, unlike box delivery services, these do not count as an
“item” in your share. Members can pick a bouquet of flowers too.
Flowers are available from mid-July through September.
